Classroom Management Tools

 * **(iPad) Doceri**. Control your classroom computer with your iPad (ideally your classroom computer would be connected to a projector, thus allowing you to work at the board from anywhere in the room). Annotate over the desktop, open files and annotate, record screencasts and share them to Facebook, YouTube, or send them via email. App includes basic package of backgrounds (musical staff, graph paper, even a blackboard). Ideas: multi-task during small groups (provide assistance to other groups at the board while you are sitting with your small group), pass the iPad to have students solve problems on the board from their seats, provide remote assistance to your class when you must be away at a workshop.

Science

 * **(iPad) NASA**. This app is a one-stop shop for communications and information from NASA. The interface begins with a graphic depicting the solar system that you can tap to learn more about the sun, the planets, or even asteroids. Other features include a Twitter feed that collects Tweets from all the NASA entities who Tweet (i.e., Mars Curiosity, the astronauts, various probes, various satellites, and all the NASA facilities). Track NASA satellites as they orbit Earth, view pictures and NASA broadcasts, and so much more. It is a treasure trove for astronomy classes or students studying space. The use of this app depends on the structure of your activity. The app is geared toward strong readers. However, if you are using it for the pictures or videos, it could be used with younger students. (Grades 4-8 with support from the teacher. Grades 9 + for independent use.)
